It'd be nice to get the threaded barrel and use a comp... actually have one on my SU-16 just because. But honestly I'll probably take whatever I can get first.

Ya never know. It might be easier to find the 17 round version and lose the useless mag when things shake out (I don't have a SR and that Glock module is going in as soon as I open the box - because I'm a Glock Fanboy, hahah.)

A factory threaded barrel is worth a lot more to me than a Ruger mag. I'm thinking a muzzle brake from FM Products would be a good fit.

Glock 17/19 10-round magazines usually have a different follower than the standard magazines, which can sometimes cause feeding issues with JHPs. It will be interesting to see how reliability the PC Carbine works with these.

The 9mm3 followers don't always solve the problem. Many people have reported that the 9mm3 followers cause feeding issues on the 4th to 6th round.

But that is on a Glock, and frankly very few people report this - relatively speaking. We have no idea if this will be any sort of a problem on the new Ruger carbine but I'll go out on a limb and say, probably not.

Plus as alternates, there are blocked mags, G17 mags, G26 mags, Gen 5 mags. It is raining down proven mags for this carbine.

It’s worth noting here that Ruger advises that some Magpul Glock-pattern magazines may not function reliably with the PC Carbine. Factory Glock magazines, however, have been found to function well, as have some other aftermarket offerings, including 50- and 100-round drum designs.

Affirmative, agent88. I hope some are paying attention to your post. That NovX 65gr bullet comes out at 2,031 fps and 595 ft/lbs of energy, and, if you half believe their ads, its expansion is a bad guy's worst nightmare. They didn't provide numbers at 25 and 50 yards, but that's a lot of velocity and energy.

This illustrates something that some shooters refuse to acknowledge, that there are modern 9mm factory loads out there that are much nastier than what was available in years gone by, whether from pistol barrels or longer, and are plenty sufficient for self defense.

Yup, someone will pop up and say, yes, but it's not as fast as "x", like 6.5 Creedmore or something, or yes, but my .45acp develops 596 ft/lbs of energy. Great....shoot what you like, I say. 9mm is my chosen caliber.

I'm going to buy the new Ruger PC9 Carbine. I'd like to have one handy around the house when the unwashed masses rise up from the cities, storming into the suburbs and surrounding towns, demanding the economic justice promised to them by our previous Dear Leader.

Sorry....got carried away there. It'll be fun to shoot.

Yup there's always someone loading a abnormally tiny bullet into every caliber to achieve freakish numbers on paper... every caliber.

I'm just stating the obvious but this new Ruger 9mm carbine, that could take Glock mags, has gotten more attention and post that seem mostly positive and hopeful than any other new fire arm that's been posted on Calguns in a long long time.

I sure hope this is big hit for Ruger and they really start to mass-produce them to help bring and keep the prices down.

Ruger listened and gave the market what it asked. I can't wait for different versions such as one with a full length wood stock.

It's also nice we can buy this thing in CA without jumping through any hoops

I was pretty excited about my Walther slide, but I'm way more excited about this Ruger. I think the PC9 was a unicorn for me that I always hoped to find in decent shape for a decent price... never materialized yet and I guess that's a good thing. Personally I like everything about this carbine. Take-down, integrated receiver rail, 10/22 trigger packs, fluted med/heavy contour, maybe threaded, delayed blow-back, GLOCK MAGS.

I have a few MEC-GARS for my P95 if I ever found a PC9... but I have a load of standard Glock mags... short, tall, extremely tall.
